Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The World´s Rough Hand: Toil and Adventure at the Antipodes I suppose at some remote period - too remote certainly for us to put our finger on it - a seafaring life was quite an ideal one, and the lot of a sailorman the jolliest of all. I say I suppose this, because in no other way can I account for the glowing pictures which have been painted of Jack by the nautical novelists and song-makers of this century. If my supposition is a wrong one, then it is evident that a good many persons have yet to learn that the mere fact of their having crossed the Atlantic in a floating hotel, or having taken a trip up the Thames in a penny steamer, does not qualify them to write truthfully about matters pertaining to salt water.
